The mythological backdrop of the New Year is probably based on Hindu literature. There was no serious contradiction in New Year rituals that are found among the Buddhists and Hindus. Their philosophies were running along parallel dimensions, except for certain ultimate truths concerning the self, the way to achieve emancipation and the nature of a creative god (which Buddhism denies) and nirvana. Buddhism and Hinduism were historically connected with each other. New Year practices interpreted in the Hinduism way developed among the Hindus.

The majority of the people in the country are Buddhists, and as such, the Buddhistic outlook was predominant in transforming the New Year rites to what they are now. The advent of Buddhism in the 3rd century BC led to a re-interpretation of the existing New Year activities in the Buddhism light. Various beliefs, perhaps those associated with the fertility of the harvest, gave birth to many rituals, customs, and ceremonies connected with the New Year. People think that the celebration of the new year is the change of thoughts too. It also marks the end of the harvest season and of spring.Ĭultural anthropological history of the 'Traditional New Year' which is celebrated in the month of April, goes back to an ancient period in Sri Lankan history.
